a waffle bar brunch

this past saturday, aric & i had our friends anthony & kaylin over to celebrate their new engagement! one of my besties, ashley armstrong, also flew in for the weekend to go to the thunder games here in denver! we had an absolute blast this weekend!

THE TABLE

i didn't have much time to create a full on themed brunch, so i decided to just put down some kraft paper for the table cloth so everyone could doodle during breakfast! aric spray painted one of our mason jars gray and we stuck some markers in it. voila - easy & cheap party accessory!

i forgot to take a picture of our final doodles!

WAFFLE BAR TIME!

we had tons of toppings for this!
for sweet we had jam, butter, strawberries, blueberries, bananas, almonds, homemade whipped cream, almonds, powdered sugar & cinnamon.
for savory we had cream cheese, crumbled bacon & green onions!

i tried a homemade waffle recipe for the first time - it was delicious!
